Notes

This checkpoint is intended as a TorchAO quantized research artifact. The first validation target was successful reload, reduced checkpoint size, lower VRAM allocation, and correctness on a smoke arithmetic task.

The quantized model may not be faster than BF16 on every GPU/backend. For this checkpoint, the main gain is storage and allocated VRAM reduction.
